Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

When I came home with her in 2006, I thought for sure I had a girly girl. She spoke in a small, sweet, voice. There was nothing loud or obnoxious about Eva.

Her room was pink. Her bedding was floral. Her closet was full of dresses. She loved all things shiny. She even loved her princess shoes.

She enjoyed her girly movies and Barbie's The Princess and the Pauper. Now, she informed me that her favorite movie is the exciting one called The Buccaneer, starring Yul Brenner and Charlton Heston!
She hated bugs and getting dirty. She was a girly! Or so I thought. Today before church, she informed me, "I don't want to wear a dress." What? Today, she wore brown pants with a white butterfly shirt. At least it was a butterfly. That is still kind of girly. But, then again, it is a bug. Almost like these that she carried around in her pockets, dead or alive.

And these.

Oh, well. I tried. She's not as girly as I thought. But, my oh my, how I love my non-girly girl.
